High

This article has been rated as High-importance on the project's importance scale.

This article is supported by Egyptian religion work group (assessed as Top-importance).

WikiProject Ancient Egypt to-do list:

Needed articles.

We should have an article on every pyramid and every nome in Ancient Egypt. I'm sure the rest of us can think of other articles we should have.

Cleanup.

To start with, most of the general history articles badly need attention. And I'm told that at least some of the dynasty articles need work. Any other candidates?

Standardize the Chronology.

A boring task, but the benefit of doing it is that you can set the dates !(e.g., why say Khufu lived 2589-2566? As long as you keep the length of his reign correct, or cite a respected source, you can date it 2590-2567 or 2585-2563)

Stub sorting

Anyone? I consider this probably the most unimportant of tasks on Wikipedia, but if you believe it needs to be done . . .

Data sorting.

This is a project I'd like to take on some day, & could be applied to more of Wikipedia than just Ancient Egypt. Take one of the standard authorities of history or culture -- Herotodus, the Elder Pliny, the writings of Breasted or Kenneth Kitchen, & see if you can't smoothly merge quotations or information into relevant articles. Probably a good exercise for someone who owns one of those impressive texts, yet can't get access to a research library.

Desiderata

In the relevant articles it is asserted that parts of the Pyramid Texts were incorporated into the Coffin Texts, & that parts of the Coffin Texts were incorporated into the Book of the Dead. It would be useful if these shared texts were identified, & any possibly important changes in the text noted. (I assume Egyptologists have performed this, & it's merely a matter of reporting their work in the relevant articles.) -- llywrch (talk) 18:06, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Trust me, I know. I do have sources that discuss these topics (and have just added two of the more important to the further reading), and I hope to improve this article substantially sometime in 2019. A. Parrot (talk) 21:17, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
